The League

HITS LLC, the leading producer of hunter, jumper, and dressage competition in the United States, is proud to support The League presented by Marshall & Sterling Insurance, a goal-oriented program for riders of all levels.

The League demonstrates HITS’s commitment to providing opportunities for riders at all levels to participate at first-class competition venues and showcase their skills in exciting class offerings. The League offers competition in approximately 25 classes with fences 2’ to 3’3” in hunter classics and derbies, jumper classics, and equitation medal classes. Feature classes include Hunter Derbies – the Tiny Bit O’ 2’ Hunter Derby and the Bit O’ Straw 2’6” Hunter Derby, the all-new Low Child/Adult Hunter Classic, as well as Junior/Amateur Jumper Classics at 1.05m and 0.90m and the Itty Bitty Jumper Classic.

The League provides its member riders a unique opportunity to compete year-round and to qualify for the prestigious National Finals at HITS Hudson Valley in Saugerties, NY. Members also earn points toward national rankings and, new in 2025, zone rankings. The top 10 riders or horses in each respective zone as well as nationally, as applicable, are awarded long ribbons at the end of the season separate from the National Finals.
